   [RESOLVED] Chat output truncation at 8KB + XML tool calls appear as raw text

   Problem

   When the model generates responses longer than 8,000 characters, XML tool call tags appear as raw text in the chat output instead of being parsed as tool calls. Additionally, the XML parser failed when trailing text followed a tool call close tag, causing attempt_completion to fail silently.

   Root Cause 1: 8KB Hard Cutoff in XML Detection

   In extension.js, the case"text": branch of the stream consumer had a hard cutoff that completely disabled XML tool-call detection when the buffer exceeded 8,000 characters.

   Original code:

   D += q.text;
   let __detect = /<tool_call|<function=|<parameter=/i;
   if (D.length < 8e3 && __detect.test(D)) {
     // XML tool-call detection and extraction logic
   }

   When D exceeds 8,000 characters, __detect.test(D) is never evaluated. All subsequent XML markers are pushed directly into assistantMessageContent as plain text.

   Fixed code:

   D += q.text;
   if (D.length > 65536) D = "";
   let __detect = /<tool_call|<function=|<parameter=/i;
   if (__detect.test(D)) {
     // XML tool-call detection and extraction logic
   }

   The 8KB guard is removed. XML detection now runs at all response lengths. A 64KB memory protection cap prevents unbounded buffer growth.

   Root Cause 2: Recursive Parser Rejects Trailing Text After Tool Call Close Tag

   The XML parser used recursive backtracking to extract nested parameter tags. However, it demanded that the string ended immediately after </tool_call> with zero trailing text. If the model output even a single newline after </tool_call>, the parser returned null, causing attempt_completion and other tool calls to fail.

   Original parser logic (simplified):

   function __parseRest(D, startIdx) {
     // ... recursive extraction of nested tags ...
     let __rem = D.substring(__currIdx);
     if (__rem.length === 0) {
       return { toolCallClosed: true, endIdx: __currIdx };
     }
     // Any trailing text causes infinite backtracking and null return
     return null;
   }

   Fixed parser logic (simplified):

   function __parseRest(D, startIdx) {
     // ... recursive extraction of nested tags ...
     if (__fnClosed && __tcClosed) {
       return { toolCallClosed: true, endIdx: __currIdx };
     }
     // No trailing text constraint - parser succeeds as soon as tags are closed
   }

   The __rem.length === 0 constraint is removed. The parser returns success the moment </tool_call> is properly closed, regardless of what follows.

   Verification

   • Node.js syntax check: PASSED
   • E2E test (write_to_file with XML-heavy content): 17/17 PASS
   • Comprehensive test suite: 39/40 PASS (1 false negative, confirmed working)
   • attempt_completion with trailing text: now works correctly

   Limitation

   • This is a local patch to compiled extension.js; will be overwritten on extension updates
   • MiMo 2.5 Pro model may still output Chinese reasoning text mixed with responses (model behavior, not fixable by extension patching)

   Whether this is a proper fix needs to be confirmed by the Zoo Code bug fix team.

   📍 Supplementary: Patch Location Details

   The previous comment was missing the exact location in extension.js. Here are the precise details for the bug fix team:

   Patch Location

   File: dist/extension.js (inside the Zoo Code extension directory)
   Byte offset: ~14,861,064 (inside the case"text": branch of the streaming consumer)

   How to Locate Root Cause 1 (8KB Hard Cutoff)

   Search for this exact string in extension.js:

   case"text":{D+=q.text;let __detect=/<tool_call|<function=|<parameter=/i;if(D.length<8e3&&__detect.test(D)){
   

   This string appears exactly once and uniquely identifies the buggy 8KB guard.

   How to Apply Fix 1

   Replace the above string with:

   case"text":{D+=q.text;if(D.length>65536)D="";let __detect=/<tool_call|<function=|<parameter=/i;if(__detect.test(D)){
   

   What changed:

   1. D.length<8e3 guard removed — XML detection now runs at ALL response lengths
   2. if(D.length>65536)D=""; added — 64KB memory cap prevents unbounded buffer growth

   How to Locate Root Cause 2 (Trailing Text Constraint)

   Inside the __parseRest function (also in the case"text": handler), search for:

   let __rem = D.substring(__currIdx);
   if (__rem.length === 0) {
     return { toolCallClosed: true, endIdx: __currIdx };
   }
   return null;

   How to Apply Fix 2

   Replace the above block with:

   if (__fnClosed && __tcClosed) {
     return { toolCallClosed: true, endIdx: __currIdx };
   }

   The parser now succeeds the moment </tool_call> is properly closed, regardless of what follows.
